hey guys ive come to the conclusion that the dash surround of my r33 needs to be stripped off and re-painted as there is alot of scratches and chips in the paint on it. Also the gearstick and handbrake boots are in shitehouse condition so ill be pickin up a new set of them through the group buy section :thumbsup: i was just looking for some opinions on the colour combo that i should go for. extra info: ill also be sending the door trims away to have that velour bit changed to white leather aswell. dash surround and section to be painted are pictured below

Hi guys,

I have a S2 33 gtst and I'm going to go gloss black on the dash and tan leather on the gear boot, park brake boot, door trims and seats (only on the shit worn out bits, not the central coloured bits). Id also like to get the steering wheel and park brake handle done, but I'm not sure how it would come out/cost...

hey i can take a pic for you when my gear gaiter and handbrake surround come in but mine is white dash surround, white face gauges with soon to be white and black gear gaiter and handbrake surround.

Depends on your cars exterior colour in my oppinion (mines white so when looking from the outside in it suits it perfectly)

do the dash surround in a nice glossy piano black finish. It's a great colour and not over the top.

And with the boots, it really depends. If you are going to get you seats retrimmed aswell, go for whatever colour you want to do the seats in, and if you're not going to get them retrimmed then go for black.

And also with the door trims don't do them white. Once again do them black unless you're going to get the seats retrimmed aswell.

I think that you should do the dash surround in a nice glossy piano black finish, and them do the seats/door trims/boots in something like red leather.

Post up pics when you've made your choices and got it all done.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.

      Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
